BMS/Alway Saturn V Build, Part 11, Fairing Silver Paint & Fin Support Gluing



More Scotch tape masks were cut over glass, this is the curved silver line mask on the low end of the fairing.







The shroud guide was set over the black and white fairings and the edge lightly marked with pencil

The Scotch tape cut earlier was set on the pencil line. The remainder of the fin was covered with masking tape.

On the right is the finished fairing after the mask was lifted.






The painted fin is glued onto the back support piece.

I checked to be sure the fin is set at a 90 degree angle to the backing piece against the lines on the cutting board.





The bottom half round is glued on.

Notice on the right how the tabs extend out beyond the backing piece. These tabs will glue into the small slots cut into the body tube.
